NOW Foods 100% Pure Rose Hip Seed Oil is a cold-pressed, hexane-free carrier oil from the seeds of Rosa canina — one of the most prized facial oils in natural skincare for its exceptional content of trans-retinoic acid (natural vitamin A), essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acid), and antioxidant carotenoids. Rose hip seed oil has been clinically studied for reducing the appearance of scars, stretch marks, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation — with a landmark study published in Clinical Interventions in Aging demonstrating significant improvement in skin elasticity and wrinkle depth with consistent use. Its high linoleic acid content makes it particularly beneficial for acne-prone skin, as acne has been associated with linoleic acid deficiency in sebum. Cold-pressed and provided in a 4 fl oz amber bottle to protect against oxidation. For facial and body use.
